I call 3 times at 10610 NW 19th St, Doral, FL 33172, United States. I was trying to ask a simple question. "What can I do with my fish if I want to change the aquarium that I bought 6 days ago because I did not like it?". The first time the gentlemen did not know how to answer the question and I kindly told him to pass the phone to the fish section...

I brought my dog in for a bath and brush. The bather hacked his paws they look like a 3 year old took scissors to them and cut him. They complained he was difficult to manage. I have never had a groomer say this before. He is an obedience trained cattle dog. When going to pay the cashiers were unkempt, looked and behaved unprofessionally. I will not be coming back and telling all my friends. A very unpleasant experience

After making appt and having to reschedule my travel because couldn't get in very fast. I get to the appt and due to the pets age they said they couldn't see. My time is more valuable than a pet appt or I could just do myself. I dont appreciate having to make appt online fill out all the forms and then get there and be cancelled. The age was disclosed...

The staff was very disrespectful they were yelling across the store startling customers, was rudely pushing past people, and also was on there phones showing each other videos and wasn't in a hurry to help anyone. They were inexperienced and unprofessional. They mislead us with wrong information which has led us to now having dead fish. Will no longer shop there and will go to petsmart instead.

I've purchased several blue dwarf gouramis and they seems to die rapidly and frequently and when I go to the store to complain they try to blame me for it. Then they lied about my water quality claiming that the nitrates in the water was over 40 ppm. Then they told me that they couldn't sell me saltwater fish without a water sample test.

Petco Petco Pearl City, HI Grooming Services

Petco Grooming, Pearl City: I made an appt with a groomer named Jin. She was nice usually.

I had to cancel my last appt with her for my two dogs because something came up at work. Whe I called to cancel, she wasnt there, it was a groomer named Jo. Since Jin was not around and didnt know her schedule, I booked an appt with Jo. Unfortunately, I got sick and cancelled my appt with Jo.

Next time I called, I asked for Jin, she was there and was called by the person who answered. Jin hung up on me! I tried to call back but nobody picked up the phone. So I waited a few minutes and called back only to be told I was disconnected.

I know when a phone was hung up when I hear one. I was told Jin would call me back and she never did. So today I cfalled to make an appt and this groomer named Helen answered. When I gave my name she said "oh" and I was like, what was that about.

I asked to talk to the supervisor, Helen told me she does not have a supervisor but a manager so I said yes I want to talk to her. I was put on hold and after waiting for sometime, it went on voicemail.

Groomers at this location, Petco in Pearl City are unprofessional and rude! Management should know about this!

User's recommendation: Dont take your dogs to be groomed here.

1/31/21 Took my dog to Hackensack NJ store for a rabies shot. When leaving my dog lifted his leg to pee, I pulled him to stop him and continued on to check out. Guy packing freezer started screaming sir, sir, sir and told me to clean up after my dog. I said ok, and asked with what and he pointed over to this rack of cleaning stuff. So I did. I just felt...

Petco is an extremely liberal company that allows employees to wear BLM and LGBT attire with uniforms. I was labeled a racist by corporate because I drive a jeep with a brush guard. The HD of the vet clinic is more interested in how much money they can make off your pet and will do unnecessary procedures to make a buck. Staff in unqualified and poorly...

I visited the store on january 27, 2020 at approximately 2pm to purchase items for my new puppy. I asked a young man where I could find an id tag and the engraving machine. Instead of telling me where to look, he pointed in the direction of both the tags and the machine like I was a dog! I was very angry, (particularly after going to the machine and...

Got on petco website looking for price and availability for the above product. They had the product for $4.99 and was available at the poplar bluff store. It had store pick up and save. It did not say it would not be available for $4.99 if I went into the store to purchase it. I was charged $10.99. I just talked to a ‘manager' (1/16 approx. 1:10 pm.) told...

Petco Returns

I drove 30 minutes to petco to return an item only to be told returns are suspended until after the pandemic. That's fine, but it's not okay that I wasted my time driving to petco just to be turned away. Hiding it in the fine print is bs. It should be prominent on your website that returns cannot be made. I will no longer shop at petco as it is unnecessarily inconvenient.

Desired outcome: Easy and simple return process

Petco Betta

The Bettas are in a small cup this is not okay. Bettas require a heater and a minimum of a 2.5 gallon fish tank.they should have some gravel and something to hide in. My suggestion is get a 10 gallon tank with a heater and dividers so 5 fish can have some space and something to hide in.You will need a filter too.people help me fix this problem or shut this store down.

I am a loyal customer of Petco and have invested a lot of money into dog training at your Hurricane/Teays Valley location in West Virginia for the CGC certificate. In addition to the money I spend in food, treats and toys for my dog. However. It has come to my attention that an employee by the name of Brenda that works there has inserted her judgement and...

I have been shopped at the fort myers, fl store three times in the past month and a half. The last two visits I had no issues. This last visit, on a Sunday, about two weeks ago my boyfriend and I browsed through the entire store, found what we were looking for and went to the checkout line, he went to look at pets for adoption. One of your employee...

On December 18th we had a grooming appointment at your Cattlemen Rd, Sarasota, Florida store where we've taken our dog for the last year. Unfortunately the new grooming manager is very unprofessional and and absolutely not very dog friendly by the way she was handling our pet. She not only made our pet very uncomfortable she tries to upcharge customers when...

Petco Consumer fraud

PetCo engages in consumer fraud by refusing to match PetSmart's prices despite its stated policy:

"The Petco Price Match - Retail Stores: We're committed to providing the highest quality products at the best prices. If you find a lower price for an identical item at any competitor's store, we'll gladly match it."

Liars...it has now lost my business for life.

Petco Groomed with nails buffed and filed.

When I picked--up my baby I noticed that there was no scented smell I was used to. The man checking me out with my loved one stated - Your little man was so well mannered - and I said -well he is a female! I find it amazing that my dog was washed, clipped and nails buffed with them not realizing the sex of the dog they have been dealing with! Not only that - the front paws had not been clipped. I will not be using this store again. I had originally booked the appointment with someone - but the day before the appointment - when the verification of the appointment time appeared on my phone - I did not realize the appointment was for someone else to be dealing with my pet!
Not satisfied!

On 11/1 I went to the Petco at 12163 N Sheridan Blvd in Broomfield, Colorado. I had a coupon that I received in the mail from Petco. It was for $7.00 off on a bag for of Blue Buffalo, $1.00 off on a bag of Blue Buffalo treats and 20% off on a case of canned food. I asked a manager how to get a case. She said to just get 12 cans. So, I took the treats, bag...
